JavaScript equivalent of Python's format() function?

Question

Python has this beautiful function to turn this:

bar1 = \'foobar\'
bar2 = \'jumped\'
bar3 = \'dog\'

foo = \'The lazy \' + bar3 + \' \' + bar2 \' over the \'

String.prototype.format = function () {
    var i=0,args=arguments,formats={
        "f":(v,s,c,f)=>{s=s||' ',c=parseInt(c||'0'),f=parseInt(f||'-1');v=f>0?Math.floor(v).toString()+"."+Math.ceil(v*Math.pow(10,f)).toString().slice(-f):(f==-1?v.toString():Math.floor(v).toString());return c>v.length?s.repeat(c-v.length)+v:v;},
        "d":(v,s,c,f)=>{s=s||' ',c=parseInt(c||'0');v=Math.floor(v).toString();return c>v.length?s.repeat(c-v.length)+v:v;},
        "s":(v,s,c,f)=>{s=s||' ',c=parseInt(c||'0');return c>v.length?s.repeat(c-v.length)+v:v;},
        "x":(v,s,c,f)=>{s=s||' ',c=parseInt(c||'0');v=Math.floor(v).toString(16);return c>v.length?s.repeat(c-v.length)+v:v;},
        "X":(v,s,c,f)=>{s=s||' ',c=parseInt(c||'0');v=Math.floor(v).toString(16).toUpperCase();return c>v.length?s.repeat(c-v.length)+v:v;},
    };
    return this.replace(/{(\d+)?:?([0=-_*])?(\d+)?\.?(\d+)?([dfsxX])}/g, function () {
        let pos = arguments[1]||i;i++;
        return typeof args[pos] != 'undefined' ? formats[arguments[5]](args[pos],arguments[2],arguments[3],arguments[4]) : '';
    });
};
